Museums and galleries

For anyone who wants to soak up the culture, history and special features of Slovenia, the doors to museums and galleries are open. Of the more than 200 museums, the major collections are kept in the National, Natural Science and Ethnographic museums. The Museum of the First World War in Kobarid is important on the European scale. Larger towns have regional museums, while the various thematic museums, such as the Architectural and Technical museums, are special attractions. Throughout Slovenia there are galleries and fine art exhibitions centres. The leading institutions are the National Gallery and the Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana, along with the International Graphic Art Centre. Slovenian towns also feature dozens of private galleries, while city fine art exhibition venues are also common.
